《The Shy Demon(Valak x Reader)》Chapter:1
Advertisement
I wore a face of shock as the video of the screaming man continued. His body contorted in bizarre shapes not even seen by man before, as I observed the man's body closely I noticed a name carved into his skin.
"Valak" I let the name slip past my lip sub consciously. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and a gush of wind blew almost through me. 'Did anyone else feel that? 'I thought while looking around at my colleagues who seem unfazed. "Hmm that's strange" I muttered as I continued to take my notes on this case. Today is my big day finally I get to do my very own investigation on a haunted Abbey in Romania. 'This is going to be a blast' I thought getting excited at the very thought.
As soon as the day was over I rushed home to pack my bags. 'The train leaves in the morning and I don't wanna be late' I thought as I slipped out the bath tub and put the finishing touches on my luggage. As I deemed it finish I slipped into bed and fell asleep.
~Dream Realm~
The tips of my toes were submerged in water but yet they weren't wet. I looked around in confusion and spotted a figure on the end, it was faceless and almost embedded into the darkness like it was its natural environment. Something about the figure was very off it felt very unholy just so impure. I stared at it in fear but also curiosity as it slowly moved towards me. My heart begin to race I couldn't see anything behind it just put darkness, and as it drew closer as did the darkness. I searched frantically for a way out but every exit was sealed, I turn and face the direction of the figure. "What do you want I try to say with as much courage as I can " I can almost feel the figures vicious grin as I tremble in my weakened state. It Said no words but simply released a horrific blood curling scream. I quickly covered my ears and tucked into a fetal position rocking and hoping it would end. "make it stop make it stop please " I chanted over and over again, before a great force hit me knocking all the air out of my body.

~ Back to reality ~ I shoot up in a pool of sweat and the blaring sound of my alarm going off. 'Shit I'm going to miss my train ' I thought as I sprung outta bed and frantically did my morning activities, I grabbed my bags and dashed to the train station. As I boarded the train i end up with whack seats next to a screaming baby and a drooling old man. but it's my fault for over sleeping I guess.'Damn this is going to be a long ride' I thought while popping in my ear phones and gazing out the window.

8 127The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
